Thanks for the example. I'll probably incorporate it in my talk at WikidataCon. As far as I know there is no general method for nudging towards consensus for cases like these. The onus appears to me to be on whoever is entering the information to look for similar situations and model them all the same. (In this case it appears that a recent change to the Nobel Peace Prize was made to remove it being a subclass of Nobel Prize, actually reducing commonality.) But what can be done in the future? One way to go is to ask that editors be more careful when editing items that might belong to a group, and try to model them the same as other members of the group. Another way to go is to ask that editors be more careful when editing items that have parts/instances/subclasses and check that all the other items are modeled the same way. I prefer something similar to the second way, where editors of classes and properties (or just about anything that is going to be the common target of a property, but instance and subclass and subproperty seem to me to be the most important such properties) are asked to be careful to specify the relationship between the class or property and the other items that target it. So whoever does major editing on Nobel Prize should add a comment on the relationship between the various Nobel Prizes and Nobel Prize. (Having such information is quite common for concepts in Cyc.) Actually Nobel Prize isn't the greatest example for my preference because there doesn't seem to be any Wikidata items for the even the famous Nobel Prizes. Suppose there was a Wikidata item for Einstein's Nobel Prize in Physics. Then its relationship to Nobel Prize would provide guidance for the relationship between the Nobel Prize in Physics and Nobel Prizes itself. I find modeling deficiencies like this in lots of places in Wikidata. That's not a severe problem if you have the resources of Google to throw at curating Wikidata information. But if you don't have this level of resources available for curating Wikidata information then these sorts of infelicities are a significant barrier to using Wikidata. Peter F.
